Maritime Navigation

To prevent maritime accidents, we need something like air traffic control. Large ships would register a course. Computers would continuously cross check courses of all vessels for safety. The position of the ship would be electronically monitored by GPS (Global Positioning System) and by satellite to make sure the ship stayed on course. Further, the ship would be electronically monitored to ensure watertight container doors and bilge vents are closed appropriately.
